Be not deceived. The antichrist has already come and his name was Nero, the man of lawlessness, the antichrist of the 666. There will certainly be more antichrists to come, but the one the bible specifically mentions is not distant future as Dispensationalists would have us believe. Revelation is about the judgment of Israel for the overspreading of their abominations Daniel 9:26-27
If Nero (the Emperor after Claudius Caesar) was The Anti-Christ, even in spite of his many wickednesses & treatment of Christians, does he even fit the description of the anti-Christ in Revelation chapter 13 & 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10?
Nero might have considered himself as a god, sitting in the Temple as God, but he wasn't destroyed by "the brightness of his (Christ's) coming". Nero was in power for fourteen years (not the much shorter timeline given in the Word), finally suiciding in AD 68. The similarities are evident, but the coming Anti-Christ will fulfil Scripture to the letter & I don't see that Nero did that.
Amen Chris. The church fails God, as did Israel, so far. The promises of God to Israel, are yet to be fulfilled to Isreal and not the church. The end of the church is Laodicean, and only a remanent of believers persist. Therefore, the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church age, "faithfilled", believers.
